Still Awake

Peter's POV

I was thinking about where to sit. Ned was sitting with Betty so I figured I would leave him alone. That's when I saw MJ sitting all alone reading a book. Might as well sit next to her.

"Hey MJ," I greeted.

"Hey loser."

"What are you up to?"

"Reading. Thought that was pretty obvious."

I silently scolded myself for asking such a dumb question.

"Oh, yeah, um. Well, anyways, I was wondering if you would like to, I dunno, come over to my place later?" 

I braced myself for rejection.

"Sure. I've got nothing else to do."

"Really?! Ok, um, cool!"

-----------Time skip---------

I anxiously waited for MJ to arrive. I already had snacks and games set up for the afternoon. All I was missing was the woman of the hour. I lost my train of thought when I heard a ring at the door. MJ was there.

"Hey loser. Can I come in?"

"Uh, yeah."

She walked in and looked around.

"Your aunt home?" she asked

"No, she has to work at the hospital all night so she wont be home till at least 10 tomorrow."

"Alright. What are we gonna do?"

"Uh, wanna play a game?"

"Only if I get to pick."

"Good with me."

MJ ended up picking Truth or Dare instead of one of the games that I had which would not reveal all of your secrets. She insisted on me going first. Reluctantly I did. 

"Uhm, Truth or Dare?" I asked.

"Dare."

I thought for a minute.

"Let me go thought your phone."

"What?! Oh uh, well, too bad cause I, uh, left it at home! Yeah, I left it at home."

"No you didn't. I saw you put it in your back pocket earlier."

"Uhg, fine. You win. This time." 

She unlocked her phone and handed it over. I first went to her games. She had all the classics, such as Crossy Road, Plants vs Zombies, Subway Surfers, Angry Birds, Flappy Bird, Cut the Rope, you name it. I next went to text messages. Nothing worth noting there. Lastly I went to what seemed to be some sort of digital journal. I read the last entry she made. 

Dear app inside my phone,

                       I know it. 100%. I like someone. I'm not dumb enough to say who, If I did that it would backfire real quick. He's handsome, loyal, kind, and just adorable. I'm not going into specifics. If I did that it would be too easy to determine who I like. I have the slightest feeling that Ned goes through my phone. Ned, if you're reading, I'm onto you. Now for the real business. Peter is most definitely and absolutely Spider-man. No doubts about it. I'll write about why I think that in my next entry. 

                      sincerely, 

                                        MJ

I was stunned. Not only does she actually have real life f e e l i n g s for someone, but she knows. She knows I'm Spider-man. I'm really not that surprised, But at the time, it was a lot to take in.

"Alright, what did you read?" Mj asked

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"Oh please, you look like a koala that just shoved 17 grapes in it's mouth. Fess up."

"I read that last entry you wrote on this journal app thing."

"That explains the face."

She paused for a moment.

"Anyways, moving on. Truth or dare?"

"Uh, truth."

"Are you actually Spider-man?"

"Uhhhhhhhh..."

Should I tell her? Yeah I should tell her.

"Yes..."

Her face lit up with excitement. It was so adorable.

"Yes! Yes! I knew it!"

"Yeah, yeah. Now, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

I stopped to think.

"Who is your current crush?"

She was shocked. I don't think she was ready for it. She tried to avoid it.

"You know what, I'm kinda done with Truth or dare." 

I played along.

"yeah, me too. Wanna watch a movie?"

"sure."

Mj's POV

We decided on a movie and sat on the couch. Near the end, I got an idea. What might happen if I pretended to be asleep? What could I do that wouldn't really embarrass me since I was supposedly asleep? I went through with it and made sure Peter was awake. I then pretended to fall asleep and put my head on his shoulder. He tensed up then relaxed. I could feel him look over at me. He then whispered to himself, "Oh, she's asleep."

I moved slowly to keep the illusion and laid on him. He took me into his arms and got comfortable. He gently stroked my back and messed with my hair. I loved it, every second of it. I just wanted to stay there forever and ever. 

"Don't stop," whispered very, very quietly. Unfortunately, he heard me.

"MJ, are you awake?"

I didn't respond. I wanted to keep this going for as long as possible. 

"She's just sleep-talking idiot." he said to himself.

"If she were awake I would be in the hospital," he whispered again.

My grip on him tightened. I wouldn't let him go. Not now, not ever. 

Peter sighed.

"If only she would let me do this when she was awake."

He sniffled.

"If only she loved me the way I love her," he said, a little bit above a whisper.

That's when he started to somewhat silently cry. He help me tighter. I could tell he didn't wanna let go. 

"Peter, don't cry." I managed to whisper. I was on the verge of tears myself hearing him like this.

"I do love you. With everything I have in me."

"I love you too," he whispered in a quivering voice. 

"I was awake the whole time, just wanna let you know."

"I could tell."

Ohhhhhhhh my goodness. This is quite a long one for me I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. Almost 1,000 words. Sooooo close. On another note, thank you so so so so so soooooo much for all the support! There is no word in the English dictionary that can describe how grateful I am. More chapters on the way!
